Pixar Filmmaker Andrew Stanton Reveals His Five Favorite Criterion Releases [Exclusive] Pixar By Erin Brady/Nov. 7, 2022 4:52 pm EST It’s hard to imagine the animation landscape as it is today without the 2008 release of “WALL-E.” Even if you aren’t a big fan of Disney’s domination of the medium, you can’t deny that it is a tender love story that deals with heavy themes such as environmental decay and consumerism....

Reservation Dogs Season 3 Just Got A Green Light From FX And Hulu FX and Hulu By BJ Colangelo/Sept. 22, 2022 3:36 pm EST FX and Hulu aren’t leaving the Rez anytime soon, as “Reservation Dogs” was just given the green light for a third season, a week ahead of the season 2 finale. Created by Sterlin Harjo (“Four Sheets to the Wind,” “This May Be The Last Time”) and Taika Waititi (“What We Do in the Shadows,” “Thor: Love and Thunder,” “Jojo Rabbit”), “Reservation Dogs” is a fantastic coming-of-age series about a group of teenagers (Devery Jacobs, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Lane Factor, and Paulina Alexis) living on a reservation in Oklahoma, with big dreams of moving to California....

Singin’ In The Rain’s Titular Rain Turned The Soundstage Into A ‘Sauna’ MGM By Anya Stanley/Dec. 12, 2022 2:09 pm EST 70 years after its original release, the influence of musical juggernaut “Singin’ in the Rain” is immeasurable. A Hollywood satire filled to the brim with show-stopping musical numbers from Nacio Herb Brown with lyrics by Arthur Freed, its DNA is present in the likes of modern movie musicals like “La La Land,” and its whimsical, love-struck title song still gets airplay in PNC Park in star Gene Kelly’s hometown anytime the Pittsburgh Pirates catch a rain delay....

The Advantage TV Has Over Films, According To She-Hulk’s Jessica Gao Marvel Studios By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 19, 2022 10:22 am EST Let’s be honest. Every single new Marvel movie or Disney+ series these days comes with endless amounts of PR spin about how “different” and “unique” it is from all the rest — and almost every time, that simply doesn’t end up being the case. It’s true that “She-Hulk: Attorney At Law” stands a better chance of actually living up to such lofty goals, in no small part due to the character’s rich source material, and, of course, star Tatiana Maslany’s endlessly watchable charisma....

The Best Easter Eggs We Found In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Marvel Studios By Ben F. Silverio/Nov. 11, 2022 7:30 am EST Spoilers for “Black Panther: Wakanda” Forever follow. While it can be a somber and reverent experience due to the loss of franchise star Chadwick Boseman, the titular hero King T’Challa, and the process of moving forward without either of them, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” also maintains an element of joy....

Michael Gambon (Albus Dumbledore) Warner Bros. Beyond footage from the films, Michael Gambon is nowhere to be seen in “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts.” Sure, Albus Dumbledore has become a bit of a controversial figure since he first entered Harry’s life, but the Wizarding World experience wouldn’t be the same without the wise old mentor and his magnificent beard. Gambon starred in several of the Potter films, taking over the role after its originator, Richard Harris, passed away....

The Last Movie Stars Trailer: Ethan Hawke Digs Into The History Of Paul Newman And Joanne Woodward HBO Max By Joshua Meyer/July 8, 2022 9:41 am EST Late last year brought news of a forthcoming Paul Newman memoir, based on an unfinished manuscript found in the legendary actor’s house after he died in 2008. Alfred A. Knopf is said to be publishing it this fall, but before then, you’ll be able to get another window into the life of Newman and his famous wife and fellow Oscar-winning actor, Joanne Woodward, courtesy of the star-studded, six-part HBO Max docuseries, “The Last Movie Stars....

Apples and oranges Paramount Modeling Tommy’s desk after the one seen in the Corleone office in “The Godfather” is fitting; the desk of the film is a pivotal bit of furniture. It’s one of the first things seen after the movie’s opening line, “I believe in America,” is uttered to patriarch and mob boss Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando). Watch the scene here: Later, Corleone’s desk is the place where the crown is handed down to Vito’s son Michael (Al Pacino)....

The She-Hulk Finale Seemingly Set Up A Major Hulk Storyline Disney+ By Debopriyaa Dutta/Oct. 13, 2022 12:15 pm EST This post contains spoilers for the season finale of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.” Season 1 of Marvel’s “She-Hulk” ended on a surprising note, with She-Hulk/Jen Walters (Tatiana Maslany) breaking through the fourth wall and into the writer’s room to question the cliched storylines inherent within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In this clever, super-meta self-callout, Jen questions the problem with regurgitated MCU plotlines (such as variations of the SUPER ORIGINAL Super-Serum plotlines) and how female pleasure is depicted in these superhero offerings....

‘It’s not like a solid rock of certainty’ Paramount Pictures Tim Burton was, of course, a well-established director by 2007, and hadn’t yet reached the stage in his career where his films started feeling more like parodies of Tim Burton movies rather than actual Tim Burton movies. At the height of his powers, he was unsurprisingly given a lot of control over “Sweeney Todd” and chose to return to Pinewood Studios more than 15 years after shooting 1989’s “Batman” on the very same hallowed sound stages....

Titanic’s Production Took A Wild Turn Due To Some PCP-Laced Chowder Paramount Pictures By Ryan Scott/Aug. 11, 2022 1:47 pm EST Nearly 25 years after its initial release, James Cameron’s “Titanic” is remembered for a great many things. First and foremost, it remains one of the highest-grossing movies in history and a success on just about every other level imaginable. It won Best Picture at the Oscars, set a record for nominations at the time, and made mega-stars out of its two leads....

Willow was crafted to protect and utilize Kilmer Lucasfilm In November 2022, in the days leading up to the release of “Willow” (the series shares its name with the original film), Vanity Fair released an explorative piece that chronicles the journey Jonathan Kasdan underwent to bring his favorite childhood film back for another epic story. Kasdan reveals that Kilmer’s condition was immediately taken into consideration once the project gathered enough steam to take form....

Future presidents, Marvel sidekicks, and more dirtbags HBO A movie, TV, and theatre actor with more than 20 years of experience under his belt, there are very few genres Moss-Bachrach has yet to try his hand at. A glimpse over his resume reveals early, minor roles in films by directors as worlds apart as Wes Anderson (“The Royal Tenenbaums”) and Rob Cohen (“Stealth”), as well as multiple trips to the “Law & Order” universe....

An ‘unendurable’ experience Universal Pictures During a Q&A at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, Joss Whedon discussed the cancellation of “Firefly” and how “Serenity” rose from the ashes of the failed TV show. He said that for him, “Firefly” was “unendurable” and that his success with “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Angel” had made him think the process would go differently. He also talked about how “Buffy” and “Angel” both had to find their way, which is very true – season 1 of either show isn’t indicative of what they would become....

12 Underrated Boxing Movies You Need To See Warner Bros. Pictures By Jack Hawkins/Aug. 25, 2022 10:47 am EST Boxing has always transferred well to the screen because it is an individual sport with individual stories. Boxers may have family, friends, managers, and a training corner, but aside from ringside yells of “cover-up!” and “go to the body!” these fighters are on their own. This isn’t tennis or golf, and the stakes are higher than returning your opponent’s serve or knocking a small white ball into a hole....

Avatar Might Soon Become The First And Only $3 Billion Movie Ever At The Box Office 20th Century Studios By Ryan Scott/Sept. 20, 2022 12:19 pm EST James Cameron is a man who seemingly knows nothing but success in his illustrious filmmaking career. From “The Terminator” to “Titanic,” the man has proved time and time again that seemingly nobody understands the moviegoing masses better than him. But his crowning achievement in that department remains 2009’s “Avatar,” which remains the highest-grossing movie in the history of the box office....

Black Adam Makes Us Wonder If Superhero Origin Stories Are Actually Important Anymore Warner Bros. By Witney Seibold/Oct. 21, 2022 8:00 am EST When making a movie about a superhero, there are two approaches a filmmaker can take. One can either tell the story from the beginning, detailing all the complicated circumstances that led to the creation of a Superman, a Batman, or a Morbius. Or one can pick up in medias res, depicting a superhero as already well into their career, their costume chosen, their ethos set....

Chevalier: Release Date, Cast, And More About The Biopic From Watchmen Director Stephen Williams Searchlight Pictures By Lyvie Scott/Nov. 14, 2022 5:32 pm EST (Welcome to …And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.)
